I am an illustrator currently exploring slang used within the queer community and queer spaces I often find myself in. I found when I removed myself from that bubble, these terms that were once clear as day began to appear as absurd and nonsense. I have worked a lot with crochet, creating wearable garments as well as mini tapestries. I aim to achieve a humour within my work whilst also bringing awareness to the slang used within the queer community.
My extended essay focused on the evolution of queer representation in mainstream cinema and why it evolved the way it did based on the social and political climates at the time. I broke it down into chapters which included ‘Queer representation, Mass Culture and Entertainment’, ‘Censorship and Hollywood’s Golden Age’,’ Character Analysis’ and Queer Cinema - Post Stonewall’.
